Project
AP206.S1.1985.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a housing study for Dr. Bhimrao Ambedker University in Lucknow, India around 1985. This project consisted of multi-storey buildings arranged in clusters. The buildings had three apartments on each floor and were joined to create common courtyards. Diamond shaped buildings with centre courtyards were also investigated for a different area of the campus, as well as a nursery school, shopping complex, administrative block and information tower. The architect also made recommendations to build facilities near the campus for recycling, waste water, vegetables and livestock, stating that doing so would avoid the natural occurrence of slums that served a similar purpose. The project is recorded through original drawings of site, floor and landscaping plans, as well as elevations and photographic negatives of the project model, likely dating from around 1985.

CI005.S1.1951.PR1
Description:
The Northeast Polder Works for Wieringermeet initiated a contest for the design of a polder tower that would serve as a water tower and act as landmark to the empty polder area. Oud created one design that conformed to the competition guidelines and a second alternative one which he favoured. Project E was created according to the competition rules, while Motto E represented Oud's favoured design. Project E featured a carillon at the midway point of the tower; in Motto E, Oud instead placed the carillon at the top of the tower with the middle section as office space. Ultimately, the board declined all competition entries and assigned H. van Gent to the 1959 tower design (Taverne et al. 2001, 465). Project series includes a perspective drawing for Motto E of the polder tower.

Project
Ice House I (1971)
AP207.S1.1971.PR06
Description:
The project series documents the project "Ice House I" for which Pettena once again studied the transformation of a building overtaken by nature. The project consisted of pouring water on the walls of an abandoned school building in Minneapolis and letting it freeze during the night to obtain a building covered by ice. "The school preserved its typology, the typical form of that typology, but once coated in ice it was the material that transformed it: it came alive, for it had been worked by nature." It is unclear if this project was ever performed. The project series contains photographs of the frozen building, sketches, a perspective drawing, and project descriptions in English and in Italian.
